Brief Sentences From Beecher.

We sleep, but the loom of life new

weaving when the sun went down, is
weaving when it comes up tom or
row.
He who is false to present duty
breaks thread in the loom, and will
find the flaw when he may have for
gotten it's cause.
Some men are like pyramids which
are very broad where they touch the
ground, but grow narrow as they
reach the sky.
In this world it is not what we
take up, but what we give up, that
makes us rich.
Men have different spheres. 1t is
for some to evolve great moral truths,
as the heavens evolve stars, guide
the sailor on the sea, and the travel
err on the desert and it is for some like
the sailor and traveller, simply to be
guided.
The stream of life forks. and relig-
ion is not to be run in one channel
and business in another.
There is always somebody to be-
lieve in any one who is uppermost.
Death is the dropping of the flow

A man living at hotel is like a
grapevine in flower-pot, movable,
carried around from place to place
locked at the root and short at the
top. Nowhere can man get real

As flowers never put on their best

spotless raiment and eXhale theil
odor every day, so let your Christian
life, free from stain, ever give forth
the fragrance of the love of God.
In the morning we carry the
world, like Atlas; at noon we stol

brushes us frt to the ground.
Any feeling that takes a mar

1t is one of the worst effects o

QUEENSTOWN, April l3.-The ar
rival here of emigrants on their way
to the United States are at present
enormous. The railways are runnin Q
special trains to accommodate this
class of travel. The number of emf
grants now awaiting steamers to
carry them to their destination is al
ready greater than can be housed in
the hotels and lodging houses, and
many are camping in the streets.
Fifteen hundred embarked yester-
day. Three thousand more are ex-
pected to arrive on Saturday to take
steamers here.

WEEKLY REVIEW.

The market continues with an exception
ally good demand for the time of the year
and there are indications on all sides of
satisfied and confident feeling. Prices. ex.
cept as affected by the increased cost of
metals, are substantially unchanged but sew
eral sharp advances have been made in lines
thus affected, with probability of others in
the near future. The dry goods trade has
been rather quite for week past. Apart
from tie few orders for staples to keep
stocks assorted. the demand has been prin
cipally, for holiday goods such
as silk handkerchiefs scarfs, neckties,
ladies lace collars, toilet boxes. perfumery.
gloves. satchels etc. These goods were dealt
in literally, mostly by purchasers in person
and also through mail orders, either from
statesmen on the road or by personal letters.
The sales of the week aggregated fair
amount and showed a moderate increase
over last year at the same time. Our jObbing
houses are busy taking inventories of stock
and will be so occupied till the end of the
year. The market continues very strong in
cotton goods, with advices of advances al
most daily. The demand exceeds
the supply, and until these diff
ferences adjust themselves higher
prices must continue. Medium weight
sheeting, like Clifton CCC, Atlanta IA, j. p.
King IA and Royal Oaks. have advanced
&c, and are now being held at &c. LII are
strong at &c. with no lower prices for any
quantity. Groceries are firm and steady with
no changes of any consequence. Linseed
oil has advanced, and this is the only change
in drugs, paints and oils. Hardware is steady

Runners were early circulated that the strike
on the Reading was about to collapse, which
stimulated purchases for speculative account,
and on the confirmation of the rumor the
shorts in the coal stocks especially swelled
the number of buyers. The dealings in Read
ing were attended by considerable excite
ment in the early morning, but Lackawanna
afterward took the lead and shot up rapidly,
carrying the general list end beyond the best
pricesof saturday. The promptand nrm aUIlon
of the Reading company did great deal to
restore and preserve confidence and no halt
was made in the upward movement when
once fairly started. The news of the day be-
yond that mentioned was not Of special I'M
portance and had but little effect upon prices.
Among the other rstockS which became no
ticeable for strength were Missouri Pacific
and Canada Southern, though the amount OF
business done in either was small. The open.
ing was weak at declines of from Is to u per
cent, but Jersey Central was off u and Read
ing l "a on the effect of the strike. The mar
ket reacted quickly from these figures, how
ever. and advanced all along the line, though
Jersey Central and Reading, and afterward
Lackawanna, were most prominent Tor the
strength displayed. The market showed lit
tie animation outside of few leading stocks,
however, and the dealings in most of the list
were devoid of feature eXcepta sympathy with
the lmprovementln prices. There was no set
back OF importance, though small reactions
occurred before noon and in the last hour;
the advance, however, ceased only with the
close of business and the market closed
strong at about the highest prices of the day.
The list is generally higher tonight, though
Wabash preferred lost lis per cent, but
Laclawanna rose 2ss, Canada Southern and
Wheeling d Lake Erie Il each, and Jersey
Central and Missouri Pacific l per cent each.
